Are you still doing this class if so when is the next one? Also im pretty new at rifle shooting bought a 308 back in october of 12 and have shot around 150 rounds through it since. All i really have is my rifle and some ammo... is this class over my head at the moment? cuz id really like to learn.

Also, another post on CG mentions .243 would work out to 1000 yards -- do you concur? That's the only rifle my son currently has (I was thinking about getting him a .270 in LH, since he and I both shoot off our left shoulders.)

A .243 would reach, but would only be realistic in almost a null wind situation. That lightweight round would just get blown all over the place in much over a 1/2 value wind. The good news is that you will learn how to read the wind and realize what a realistic shot is as part of the class, plus you will be able to reach out to distances, even sub 1K, that you never felt comfortable doing before. Yes, there are plenty of spots still available for the class.

So far no luck on NorCal, really could use some help from people in the area on letting us know where we could hold the class. I am happy to make phone calls to set something up once I have a location.

David Moore works for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Hollister Field Office. They manage Public Lands ranging from the northern San Luis Obispo County line to the southern edge of the Bay Area and from the Pacific Ocean over to Interstate 5.

They notice a lot of questions on here regarding shooting on BLM lands and they would like to have an opportunity to clarify anything that comes up.

The most popular lands available for shooting within our boundary are Panoche and Tumey Hills off of the I-5 corridor and Williams Hill off of the I-101 corridor. These areas have quite a bit of information about them on our website as well as downloadable maps.

Slight update on the NorCal classes. I have been talking to the SacValley shooting range and the Long Range Class would have to held on a weekday and not on a weekend since they are already booked to capacity. How many of you would still make it out for a Friday all day class? I need to get to get an approximate head count to see if that makes the class viable or not. The BLM option is also still being worked on.

Awesome class, D-man. Your guys walked me out to ring the gong at 1000 easily. One of them did some showing off with his iron sights on his LRB at 1000.
This class is proof that anyone using a decent rifle and fundamentals can make consistent shots at long range

Sounds like a fun way to spend the day with my Savage 12 in 6.5 Creedmoor. I haven't had it out past 300 yards yet and I'm sure I have much to learn. I just subscribed to the thread to remind myself to sign up.
